What is a B2B-C auction?

Why is the Auction Type Important?

Before placing a bid, it is important to verify under which auction type a lot is being offered. The auction type determines which legal rights and conditions apply to the sale.

Depending on the type of seller and the capacity in which you participate in the auction (as a consumer or as a professional buyer), important rights may differ. This includes matters such as the legal warranty, the right of withdrawal, liability, and other forms of consumer protection.

Therefore, always ensure that the auction type corresponds to your status as a buyer. By placing a bid, you confirm that you meet the requirements of the relevant auction type and accept the rights and limitations associated with it. If you participate in an auction for which you do not qualify, you may not claim any rights that do not apply to that auction type.

By checking the auction type beforehand, you will know exactly which conditions apply and which rights you may or may not exercise. This helps you avoid surprises and allows you to make an informed decision before placing a bid.

Below you will find an overview of the different auction types we offer and the rights that apply to each of them.

B2B-C (Business-to-Business & Consumer)

These are lots offered by a professional seller and intended for buyers acting either in a professional capacity or as consumers. For these lots, buyers may exercise their consumer rights if they are acting as consumers.

These are lots offered by a private seller and intended for buyers acting either in a professional capacity or as consumers. For these lots, buyers may never exercise consumer rights.
